XrmMergeDatabases, XrmCombineDatabase, XrmCombineFileDatabase - merge
resource databases
SYNOPSIS
void XrmMergeDatabases(source_db, target_db)
XrmDatabase source_db, *target_db;
void XrmCombineDatabase(source_db, target_db, override)
XrmDatabase source_db, *target_db;
Bool override;
Status XrmCombineFileDatabase(filename, target_db, override)
char *filename;
XrmDatabase *target_db;
Bool override;
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the resource database that is to be merged into the target
database. Specifies the resource database into which the source data‐
base is to be merged. Specifies the resource database file name.
Specifies whether source entries override target entries.
DESCRIPTION
Calling the XrmMergeDatabases function is equivalent to calling the
XrmCombineDatabase function with an override argument of True.
The XrmCombineDatabase function merges the contents of one database
into another. If the same specifier is used for an entry in both data‐
bases, the entry in the source_db will replace the entry in the tar‐
get_db if override is True; otherwise, the entry in source_db is dis‐
carded. If target_db contains NULL, XrmCombineDatabase simply stores
source_db in it. Otherwise, source_db is destroyed by the merge, but
the database pointed to by target_db is not destroyed. The database
entries are merged without changing values or types, regardless of the
locales of the databases. The locale of the target database is not mod‐
ified.
The XrmCombineFileDatabase function merges the contents of a resource
file into a database. If the same specifier is used for an entry in
both the file and the database, the entry in the file will replace the
entry in the database if override is True; otherwise, the entry in the
file is discarded. The file is parsed in the current locale. If the
file cannot be read, a zero status is returned; otherwise, a nonzero
status is returned. If target_db contains NULL, XrmCombineFileDatabase
creates and returns a new database to it. Otherwise, the database
pointed to by target_db is not destroyed by the merge. The database
entries are merged without changing values or types, regardless of the
locale of the database. The locale of the target database is not modi‐
fied.
